Renata’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

How did I miss reading this one in my youth? Guess it just slipped through the cracks. Hope it's not too sappy.

I nominate The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (391 pages).
I also second The Bell Jar and The Kite Runner.

I nominate Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (333 pages)

I nominate 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke (297 pages)

I'm excited to be working with this great team! I'm a retired computer analyst from Canada with lots of time on my hands to read and help moderate this wonderful group. To start, I'll be helping Tori with the March BOTM nominations. Looking forward to it!

Could you explain what MYO and KYO mean?

Wow, what a book! Having just finished, I feel like I want to re-read it again. It's so packed with interesting data, clearly explaining some very complicated subjects across a broad array of topics. It's almost too much to take in on one reading alone.

I second Lovecraft Country

I second House of Leaves

I second The Stand.

I second The Executioner's Song.

I second Ask Again, Yes.
